Presidents Choice Financial MASTERCARD Consumer Reviews

My father has always paid all his bills in full and on time. He is now 92 and is not happy with his current Mastercard service. We thought we would try PC MC.

We were asked the usual questions, to verify who we were. We were then asked multiple-choice questions and told to give the answer that was the closest to the right answer. Excuse me but what...? And then told we answered wrong.

He has never experienced anything like this before in his life. He is an honest, hard-working man, who has never had a problem of this kind ever. Right now I am so shocked by how he was treated I cannot find the words to describe how I am feeling. Very angry and upset by how he was treated by this company.

The customer service is really bad, every time when calling, it will take at least 45 mins waiting time to get hold of someone, then they will transfer you to another person for another 20-25 mins. I was with them for 15 years and recently found there is a fraudulent transaction. It was a restaurant purchase at a transportation company. Obviously, this transaction is not right but they kept asking me if I did any purchase there or used it for any online purchase. We were on the phone for about half an hour, and they said they could not do anything to help. I’m not suggesting people use this card, and if you do, make sure you check all your transactions. Well, if there are fraudulent ones, they are probably not going to help anyway. You are gonna stuck there paying just like me. I cancelled my card right away.

I was being scammed by a cryptocurrency user.
During this large transaction, a computer-animated operator calls you to confirm a large transaction if you authorize it. Had an actual human being operator called and gave heed OF WARNING, I could have saved myself $5045 and not gone through with the transaction and gave a better thought to not have money stolen from me. These are SCAMS! PEOPLE, take my lesson to learn and save yourself from being robbed. I am giving them time to make it right on both ends of a horrible mistake!

I used to work for one of the big 5 so have some experience. I got this for PC points and then one month they lowered my limit. I contacted them and it was restored only to be reduced 2 weeks later... Whenever I use secure messaging via the app I’m told I have to call. When a supervisor is requested they’re not available but will call back in 24 hours.

In their defence, they do call back but it’s days later, unfortunately.

Not impressed.

I noticed on my statement that someone else was using my card everyday for skip the dishes. I called the card company. I was put on hold. When I did get a recording saying 16 people were ahead of me. No option for a call back. Not only that if it is over 30 days they won't help you.
The insurance is the same as the amount I spent. A nightmare.

We were so happy to get our PC card. We were excited to collect points but our experience has been absolutely terrible. Within the first day of use, one of our transactions got flagged. The account on hold as it was considered a large purchase on a newer account. Fast forward three days later, and five phone calls. They tell us someone will call to authenticate us within 24 hours. When we call back, we get the same message. We call every morning and yet it is the same story. Nobody can serve french speaking people and while both my partner and I called to confirm our identity, that doesn't seem to be enough. We were jumping through hoops to use their credit card. There are way better companies out there and they will let you use the services you signed up for. STAY AWAY!

Basically, you have 30 days to figure out that a charge on your card is not valid. And customer service will make you wait on a line, but be completely unhelpful. You must supply cancellation confirmation from subscribed software if this is a software subscription. They are not interested in flagging software companies that are ripping off people with subscriptions. I am in dispute with a software company. The cancellation did not produce anything more than a screen print that I judiciously took, but it is not enough to contest the charges. I am livid. Do not purchase the software. You will not get the software and you will not get refunds and after you cancel you will still get charged. Normally the credit card company has your back, but PC Financial does not. It is only good for groceries.

Putting high-interest rates aside (holy moly their interest rates need to chill). I just called customer support because I have noticed that $600 has left my account with no transactions or pending transactions. I simply asked (4 times) if there was maybe something they saw on their end that I didn't see because it just didn't make sense. The woman talked in circles for about 20 mins only to get frustrated with me asking the same question that wasn't being answered by saying "it is probably the hefty $500 bill you have". I always keep my cool with customer support because I've been in their shoes but to disregard my concerns and then address my problem (finally) with such an attitude really pissed me off. Don't get a card with them, this is not my first issue and it will not be my last.

Nov. $10000 limit. Dec. Locked card for security verification. Jan. Unlocked/Completed Jan. Lowered credit Limit and raised interest. I absolutely believe all the terrible reviews that this card is received on this site and others. I wish I would have read them before I signed up. Now there were many other problems with this company that I have just given you the basics. They are liars can't give you a straight answer and I believe there is something really fishy with this company. I feel uncomfortable with them even having my information but what's done is already done. I have four other cards that I've had for years and years and I have never seen or had the problems I do with this thing and those people. Don't get this card unless you are not going to carry a balance.

J'ai ma carte depuis une semaine et elle est bloquée depuis ce temps. J'ai appelé 4 fois. J'ai jamais vu un service à la clientèle aussi lent. Minimum une heure d'attente par téléphone. Au premier appel, on me dit qu'on pense que ce n'est pas moi qui fait les achats. J'ai fait un transfert de solde, le taux est intéressant. On débloque ma carte. Deux achats plus tard, ma carte est de nouveau bloquée. Cette fois-ci on ne comprends pas, semble un erreur de leur système. La troisième fois, je raccroche, je m'impatiente. Au quatrième appel, on bloque mon compte car semble-t-il selon mon crédit (pourtant on m'a accordé une limite de 15 000$) mon compte est trop élevé. On me demande un paiement de 2500$ sur le champs car on ne débloque pas mon compte. Le préposé est impoli et bête et me dit que je suis impoli avec lui. Il ne s'entend pas me parler. J'ai jamais vu une compagne de piètre qualité comme ça. Ne faites jamais des affaires avec eux. Dès que mon compte est débloqué, je refais un transfert de solde et ferme mon compte. J'étais si heureuse d'accumuler des points.
